Features
Ericeira Surf Camp is nestled in the heart of old town Ericeira, a beautiful surfing/fishing village overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. It is famous for its beaches, excellent seafood, constant swells, and weekend parties during the summer. Known as one of 4 World Surfing Reserve sites, Ericeira is the ONLY one in Europe. There are over 20 world-class surf breaks for all skill levels within a short drive. Beautiful sandy beaches and gorgeous sunset viewing spots are 5-min walk. Just around the corner there are plenty of restaurants, surf cafes, bars and shops.
1. Beginner - Learn How to Surf
This level was designed with the beginner in mind - we welcome complete newbies as well as people who have tried surfing before or on their own and would like some help. We will walk you through all the basics to get you started and catching your first waves!
2. Intermediate - RIDING THE WAVE
Intermediate lessons are for the "experienced beginner" surfer looking for the support and coaching to take surfing to the next level. You will receive the advanced instruction needed to paddle out and begin catching waves at the peak and in the line-up.
3. Advanced - From Riding to Ripping
The advanced program is intended for surfers who are able to catch green waves on their own and have full control of the board. With Advanced Surfing Lessons you will get the true surf experience in a small group with one of our head instructors. Before you take Advanced Surfing Lessons, it is recommended that you have been surfing consistently on your own for at least 6-12 months.
